how do you start missions in mass effect 2? I suck at this game! I rescued Garrus and i just persuaded the scientist to join me. Im back on the normandy at the galaxy map. I see a few quests in my journal like report to the citidal and rescuing a prisoner from a prison ship but i have no idea how to start the missions???

You find their locations on the galaxy map and travel there.

If you're still stuck, join MEU (in sig) and we'll give you a hand.

You travel around by using the Mass Relays. The big blue thing you see, you enter its orbit by pressing A and it will bring up the Galaxy map showing you all the places you can travel to. Places where the missions are will have a tab sticking out from its respective cluster. You click on that cluster and enter it, each cluster has a number of star systems within it. When you enter the cluster you will see the names of the star systems on the outer green ring, if you fly your ship to that ring, you will be able to travel to other star systems within that cluster. I know, sounds confusing but do it once and it will make perfect sense. Planets or space stations etc in which you can go on a mission will have a tab sticking out saying so, just like Omega did and you land on them just like you did on Omega.

Hey guys, I have a problem here. For some reason, I can't do Jacob's Loyaty mission. I tried to go to the planet that he told me to go, but It won't let me land it, which is weird. Is anyone having this problem? If so, how do you fix it?

alrite got a few more questions... if wrex died my first game on this save file, and lives the second time... will he be alive when import my save data to mass effect 2? also, my first play through there was no romantic interest with any of the characters... is that because i never had any chicks in my party, or is it based on text choices?

Each playthrough gets a unique save for ME2. So if you kill Wrex, he's dead. If he lives, he lives.

To get a romance you have to talk to your chosen at regular intervals (usually after each main mission)

Sometimes you don't have to scan the planet but still get the option to, which can be confusing. Before you start scanning mode see if there's an option to land... or if there's no option to land start scanning.

If you got a affair started with her and all of a sudden, she up and starts to give you an artic blast attitude, its becasue you sliped up and tried to go after an additional / seperate team mate.

This aint the Playoy Mansion here. (heh heh!) This is deep space where people remember what you say to them and how you treat them.

Ya gotta be careful becasue sometimes the writers of this game will outflank you! Be careful what ya say :-) to EVERYBODY! :-)

Id wager you might have tried to scan the planet and took on minerals from your scan, and THEN attempted a landing? If so, the just come back later. WAY later. Like last or near last on your team gathering list objectives.

I hope this will work for you, I had the same KIND of issue, but with ME, I was with my girl Jack.

That girl is some collection of pixles :-) A classic warrior woman with lipstick. Yeah!

I thought you had to beat the game once to get levels 51-60. And the person wondering about Jacob's mission, you have to scan the planet to find it. Just follow the white needle to the spot.

So of those of you who have finished ME2 (myself included) what did you think of the ending? i thought it was absolutely awful, no closure whatsoever.?PoisoN_Facecam0
I thought it was epic IMO, especially the big Explosion when the Ship was escaping, along with the epic music in the background. I enjoyed the speech in the ending, It felt great to finish the lost. All in all, thats my opinion and I respect yours.

Well it is a trilogy after all, its not 3 different stories, with 3 different endings. Its one story, with one beginning and one end. ME2 was just the middle of it, there is no way it can have absolute closure. I don't even expect ME3 to have that Return of Jedi like absolute closure. The Quarians will still be without a homeworld, there will be war, strife, the Krogan's will still be inflicted with the genophage and so on. All that will happen is a war, that most don't even know is being fought will end. The only way there can be absolute closure is if it the cycle continues and even then its still just a "To be continued in 50 thousand years" I thought the ending for the middle chapter was very fitting.

Weapon question -

For the heavy weapon CAIN, I'm having problems firing it. Use the left trigger to aim and right to fire and it always spits out air. It's also 100% charged. What am I doing wrong? Frustrating!

Just beat it, and it was epic. I loved everything . . . except for the planet scanning. I missed the Mako!

I hope they bring it back somehow for the next game.

I've just purchased ME1 as it was only £7.99 from Gamestation. I'm not a big RPG fan but took the plunge with this. I must say I am enjoying it so far. Great characters and story. Yes the combat feels a bit clunky but I forgive it.

How long roughly do you think it will take to complete if you mainly stick to the main story line? I will do some side quests to try and gain some more credits for upgrades etc... but will mostly concentrate on the main plot.

Once I finish the story I will look to then buy ME2. By that time the price will probably come down a bit as well. lol

when I used it, I usually had it at about 150 percent or so, then you have to hold it to charge and when it fires, it basically destroys everything--pretty sweet

You upgrade weapons by finding on buying schematics on missions(for things like increase damage, ammo etc), then you use materials that you can find on missions but you get mostly from scanning planets. When it comes to armor, you can get another set from the Cerberus network, otherwise you are stuck with the N7 armor. But you can alter it and make it look different as you please.

Upgrade weapons by finding or buying schematics from various shops/missions/interactions. You need Mordin in your group before you can start doing this.

There are dozens of different armour sets around the game, many stores have new bits. There is also two full special sets you get from either DLC or Dragon Age.

You scan planets to find materials that you use to upgrade your weapons, crew and ship.

Indicently, all this is explained in the booklet that comes with the game. Have you seen those things? They're great, they've got words in them and everything.

LOL. but i am still yet to start ME2 and im wondering, whats the point in upgrading your ship. does it make a difference in the suicide mission or what. because its not like we're gonna fight using the ship. are we?
